If it's a calendar month, then you can simply:-
Code:
#!/bin/ksh
typeset -Z2 MM DD
date "+%Y %m %d" | read Y4 MM DD

((MM=$MM-1))
if [ $MM -eq 0 ]
then
   MM=12
   ((YY=$yy-1))
fi

echo "Date last month was $DD $MM $Y4"


Does this help? I would be concerned about just taking off 30 days as suggested earlier. On 1st March, this will report either 30th or 31st January. Smilie
